The petition below was started by our friends at lymedisease.org . It will go to the Tick-borne Disease Working Group in order to get another misplaced Dr. off the Group. You can read all about it by going to the link below. It was over 7000 last time I looked.
Please add your name and you voice to this important protest.

I forgot how to make long links shorter. Anyone know?

Thanks for sharing Ann-OH! We are doing wonderfully!!!

Usually the links mess things up, but right now this one looks good!

Hoping to get at least 10,000 signatures, so everyone please keep letting others know and sharing this info.

Thanks!!!

To make long links shorter, first copy the link you want shortened. Go to;

TinyURL
https://tinyurl.com/

Paste your link into the 'enter a long URL to make tiny.'
Click on 'make TinyURL.'
A TinyURL will appear.
Copy your new URL. You are ready to paste wherever.

I reposted this info for our TxLyme Yahoo group. Consequently, I know that several of our TxLyme Yahoo members have signed it.

I encourage others to repost this info and its link on other websites also because this effort is extremely URGENT.

Do either of y'all (Ann-OH or TC) know what the total count of signatures is right now?

Please post regular updates here about the number of signatures -- or else post a link to where we can find out the current totals. TIA.

Whoops! I realize that Ann-OH's first message in this topic contains the link that I'm looking for, but I'll leave the rest of my message just as it was (unedited) for the sake of anyone else who is dumb like me and can't figure it out.

It was already over 10K signatures when I looked just now -- 10,161 to be exact. Let's keep the count going.

I tried several times to sign, but it didn't recognize me -- probably because I do not have (nor want) a public personal ID on social media.

Instead, it showed up as my husband's profile, so I asked his permission to sign in his behalf. That's the best that I could do.
